OK, let's all take a big breath and relax.

Perhaps my post was a bit too in-your-face.  If so, I apologize.

With that said, I don't understand why someone who has an EV-DO
cellular data card in his/her briefcase would ever then pay *extra*
for hotel Wi-Fi (assuming the hotel is in EV-DO coverage) when the
speed throughput for either is likely more than adequate for any but
the most data-intensive task (e.g., high-quality videoconferencing).
EV-DO has sustained throughput of about 400-600kbps, meaning that
transferring even 10 megs of data could be done in under 3 minutes.
Wi-Fi just isn't going to make much of a difference in any but the
most extreme situations, so paying extra for it on top of the sunk
cost of a monthly EV-DO card just seems wasteful to me, regardless of
the size of the company.

This is the last I'll post on this, but feel free to continue debating
if it entertains you.
